I believe my degree was essential in landing this role. The course provided an environment which encouraged me to flourish while being similar to a real-world work environment.

Annie Mitchell, BA (Hons) Computer Animation and Visual Effects

I chose Teesside because of the amazing facilities. I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted to do, I just knew I really enjoyed working with computers. I looked at several other universities but none of them compared to Teesside.

Connor Burdekin-Roberts, BSc (Hons) Computing

I knew that I wanted to do a film course, and Teesside is my local university and the course is accredited by the Skillset Academy. Finally, when I came to an open day, I was convinced me to come here.

Katt Mudd, BA (Hons) Television and Film Production

I came over from Northern Ireland for an audition and, while I was here, I fell in love with the campus, what the course could offer, and the friendliness of the staff and my potential fellow students.

Natasha Magee, BA (Hons) Performance for Live and Recorded Media

This course offered the knowledge and skills to equip me to work in a fast-changing industry like journalism. I wanted to immerse myself in the multimedia aspects of the course and I'm so glad I did - I thoroughly enjoyed it.
